Summary
This advisory describes a vulnerability that affects Cisco products and
applications that are installed on Microsoft operating systems incorporating
the use of the Internet Information Server (IIS), and is based on the
vulnerability of IIS, not due to a defect of the Cisco product or application.
A number of vulnerabilities were discovered that enables an attacker to execute
arbitrary code or perform a denial of service against the server. These
vulnerabilities were discovered and publicly announced by Microsoft in their
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS02-018.
All Cisco products and applications that are using Microsoft IIS are considered
vulnerable.
This advisory is available at the
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/Microsoft-IIS-vulnerabilities-MS02-018.shtml.
Affected Products
To determine if a product is vulnerable, review the list below. If the software
versions or configuration information are provided, then only those
combinations are vulnerable.
* Cisco CallManager 3.0, 3.1, 3.2
* Cisco ICS 7750
* Cisco Unity
* Cisco Building Broadband Service Manager 4.x, 5.x
* Cisco uOne Enterprise Edition
* Cisco E-mail Manager (CEM)
* Cisco Network Registrar (CNR)
* Cisco Intelligent Contact Manager (ICM)
Various Cisco Network Management products may be installed on Microsoft
platforms that may be running a vulnerable version of IIS. Much older versions
of CiscoWorks 2000 RWAN/CWSI Campus v2.x and Cisco Voice Manager v1.x are
directly vulnerable because IIS was required as a part of the installation.
Such systems might be offering HTTP services on default ports. These specific
software packages are no longer supported, but are included in this notice to
alert customers that might still be using them.
No other Cisco product is known to be affected by this vulnerability.
Details
Implementations of the Microsoft Internet Information Server are vulnerable to
buffer overflows and denial of service attacks. These vulnerabilities can be
exploited to execute arbitrary code on a computer system or to disrupt normal
operation of the server.
The vulnerabilities have been described in more detail at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS02-018.asp.
Impact
By gaining unauthorized access an attacker can view and modify any part of the
operating system accessible with the privileges assigned to the web server user
possibly leading to a breach of confidentiality and integrity of the system. By
performing a denial of service attack, an attacker can cause a disruption in
availability of the web server.
